Independent police investigations

Pivot, along with many other organizations, victims of police misconduct, and families of people killed by police, fought for years for the creation of an independent police investigations body. In May of 2011, the provincial government amended the Police Act to create the Independent Investigation Office to investigate incidents where police cause death or serious harm. The Independent Investigations Office is led by and staffed with civilians who have never been police officers.

We invite you to join us in recognizing that we are on stolen lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. We are grateful to Indigenous Peoples for their continuous relationship with their lands and are committed to learning to work in solidarity as accomplices in shifting the colonial default.
